This event will be held in South Korea for the first time. The first international League of Legends event of the season, MSI has previously hosted in the United States, China, Brazil, France, Taiwan and most recently Iceland.
According to Kenzi, Riot Games originally planned to host the event in Incheon, South Korea, where the PUBG Global Invitational.S was held with a balloon system in 2021, but the event was later moved to Busan.
Numerous hotels are reportedly already providing accommodation for teams competing at MSI 2022. Organized between the first and second rounds of all regional leagues, MSI 2022 is expected to host 13 teams. Only 12 teams competed at the event last year, as VCS representative GAM Esports was unable to attend due to travel restrictions.
It is not yet clear whether MSI 2022 will receive live viewers.
